for one Of their sharpest men, and hell he
on the wharf the next trip"
No crimson dye Of Eastern fame could
equal the tint Of Captain Mugginss face.
A detective put ON his wharf-to over
look him!
He dared not offer remoustrance but
any one who knew him could judge for
themselves what nice time his wife and
daughter would enjoy when he returned TO
his home as they were always the hapless
victims of his fury when any indignity was
put upon him by outsiders
He left the office and returned to his du.
ties. His blood boiled with Indignation, and
he scarcely replied 10 the many questions
asked him during the day by those with
whom he came in contact through his oih-
cial position.
When the steamer arrived and her pas
sengers flowed ashore in a stream, the cap
tain espied the widow advancing with her
usual smile, her nurse and her baby.
"Ah how are you. my friend y said the
charmer, in her usual soft, melodious ac-
cents.
"Well, thank you. How is Master Hen
ryf'
ooh, so we'll so beautiful I"
The trunks were passed, and after few
pleasant words the widow prepared to de
part but Just as Julia, the boHne, had an
uounced the carriage, quiet-looking man
in salt t-and pepper suit stepped up and
laid profane hand on the beautiful shout
der of the charming widow.
Caught again, ky ~ he said in pleas
ant manner.
The widow started, and glanced around
in alarm
''No use, ky, said the salt-and-pepper
man; eve been wondering why you kept
so quiet. Games up, old boy"
The captain stood by in speechless amaze
ment while the detective arrested the beau
tiful widow.
And the baby, Master Henry, what of
| him
He was disrobed of his lace and embroid-
cry, and he proved TO be one mass of SNUG
gled goods adroitly built together on foun-
dation of a bottle of best French brandy,
and furnished with waxen face and an
| apparatus to make noise resembling the
cry Of an infant.
The captain is still employed as an officer
| of her majesty's customs, but he is more
| humble for his beautiful widow was a
smart young smuggler from Paris. He was
! singularly handsome and made up well as a
woman, and he had brought thousands of
pounds worth Of valuables through right
before the redoubtable captains eyes; and
as long as the captain lives he will never
hear the last Of the widows baby.

Among the women Of the world who are
doing battle in the cause Of temperance
are the women of Belfast, ireland. The

home for girls who are children Of debauch-

protecting them from want and temptation,
is so to train them that they will in turn
take their stand against the curse of in
temperance. Thus they are building upon
a sure foundation.

John P. Hale was most incorrigible
wag, and he delighted in making Senator
Foote, of Mississippi, who in an unguarded
moment had threatened to hang him as an
abolitionist butt for his Jokes. One day,
after visit to New York, Senator Foote
came smilingly in and took his seat at his
desk, rather astonishing the other Senators,
as his previously bald pate was covered by
fine, curly, black wig. Up rose Mr.. Hale,
and demanded a special committee 10 eX-
anime the credentials ''of the youthful up
start who had assumed Senator Foote s
likeness and chair" Senator Foote rose
up, and bowling politely, convulsed the Sen
ate by quickly removing the wig and hang
ing it on his umbrella with the observation

quite in order, despite my illustrious col
leagues, the committee is not necessary.

The Pronunciation of ArI,ou.,..

There is one point upon which the Ar
kansan is touchy, says a writer in the New
York Times. He pronounces the third syl-
liable of Arkansaw, as he spells it, saw -
One of his next-door neighbors is state
named Kansas. There is too much similar
ity in the names, and if he could by any
means change Kansas into anything else he
would do so. As he sees no hope of this, he
insists that there must be at least this differ
ence in pronunciation, and to hear a strang-
er say Arkansas, with the accent on the
second syllable, is, except in polite circles,
accepted as a cdsus beiH He insists, more
over, that the French, who were its first
settlers, pronounced it Arkansaw, and he
maintains that the first settlers should be ac-
corded such privilege, as they obtained lit
tie else. The Arkansan is more tenacious
of his rights and privileges, and there are
more of him than in 1903 when Arkansaw
was purchased by the United States from
France, or in 1919, when it was organized
as a Territory, or even in 1896, when it was
admitted to the Union.

Lincoln on the Declaration of Hnde-
pendeuce.

In the instalment Of the Lincoln His
tory, " published in the June Century, an
account is given of the famous Dred Scott
decision, with quotations from Lincoln's
and Douglass opinions on that decision.
Lincoln incidentally referred TO the Decla-
ration of Independence in the following
striking language: Il think the authors
of that notable instrument intended to in
clude all men but they did not intend to
declare all men equal in all respects. They
did not mean to say all were equal in color
size intellect moral development, or social
capacity. They defined with tolerable dis
tinctness in what respects they did consider
all men created equal-equal with certain
inalienable rights among which are life,
liberty and the pursuit of happiness This
they said and this they meant. They did
not mean to assert the obvious untruth that
all were then actually enjoying that equal
ity, nor yet that they were about to confer
it Immediately upon them In fact they
had no power to confer such a boon. They
meant simply to declare the right, so that
the enforcement of it might follow as fast
as circumstance would permit. They meant
10 set up n standard maxim for free society,
which should be familiar to ALL and rever-
ed by all constantly looked to, constantly
labored for, and even though never per
fectly attained, constantly approximated
and thereby constantly spreading and deep
ening its influence and augmenting the hap
piness and value of life to all people of all
colors everywhere. The assertion that all
men are created equal was OF no practical
use in effecting our separation from Great
Britain and it was placed in the declara
ton, not for that, but for future use. Its
authors meant it to be as, thank God, it i.
now proving itself, a stumbling-block tC
all those who in after times might seek Il
turn a free people back into the hateful
paths of despotism. They knew the prone
ness of prosperity to breed tyrants, anc
they meant when such should reappear il

they should find left for them at least one

A MORAL FOR HENRY GEORGE.-Louis
Masquerier, So years old, who dedicated his
own monument in Cypress Hill cemetery
last Sunday was the candidate of a land
reform party for governor of New York
~ years ago. His name was nearly as
well known then as the name of Henry
George is known today. He wrote books
to show that the times were out of joint,
and had newspaper organ Just like
George. His idea was not common owner
ship of land, but a change of occupancy.
The whole universe was to be divided geo
metrically into cities, towns and farms.
Masquerier was as confident and earnest
about his scheme as George is. He also
took up the matter of language and invent
ed brand new phonetic alphabet, which
was to perfect and simplify the English
language. The monument which he dedi-
Gated Sunday is almost completely covered
with inscriptions giving the whole history
of this remarkable crank. There is geo
metrical plan showing his idea of how the
world should be cut up into strips and sec
tions. The characters of his phonetic alpha
bet are given and the monument is crowned
by miniature copy of the Bartholdi statue,
with Liberty holding globe in her hand
instead of torch. Masquerier had invited
Gen. John c. Fremont, Ingersoll, Henry
George and DR.. McGlynn to help him dedi-
cate the monument, but they did not ap-
pear, and he had to do the honors all him
self. And the moral of all this is-bui
perhaps Henry George, who has lively
fancy, will look forward half century
and draw the parallel Springfield Repub
hcdn.

The Hartford Courant says "a while
ago some one started preposterous story
that in consequence of her observations
and experiences since she became a Florida
landowner and employer of negro labor
Mrs. Harriet Beecher Stowe had changed
her mind about slavery. This unknown
person even went the length of affirming
that Mrs Stowe had admitted that she
would not have written Uncle Toms Cab
in if she had known as much about the
peculiar institution then as she knows now
The daughter of one of Mrs. Stoves old
anti-slavery friends in Jacksonville, ILL.,,
was so disturbed in mind by this story that
she wrote to Mrs. Stowe about it. She re
ceived the following reply:
" 1t is vile slander to say that | ever
in any shape or form took back the things
l said in "Uncle Toms Cabin" l never
did l did not find the southern negroes
degraded, ignorant and worthless ~ but,
considering their advantages, far better
than many white people Please assert
these things boldly on my authority, Your
friend, Harriet Beecher Stowe"

Rev NJ j. Savage, in sermon ON Pa
tience, urged upon his hearers to he patient
with children, with servants, with stupid
people, and added "We must be patient
even with the wicked What does wicked
ness mean No man or woman ever chose
wickedness who could comprehend the
beauty and sweetness and nobleness of the
opposite, A wicked person calls for more
pity than do the unfortunate good, Let us
remember the wisdom as well as the sweet
ness of that Oriental prayer, % God, bless
the wicked the good thou hast already
blest in making them good. "
The Rev. Robert Breck, minister of the
First church of Springfield, Mass, said l5O
years ago; "What will become of the
heathen who never heard of the gospel
do not pretend to say, but | cannot but in
dulge the hope that God, in his boundless
| benevolence, will find out a way whereby
| those heathen who act up TO the light they
| have may be saved.n From this it would
appear that the so-called new theology isn't
so very new after all.

Philip G.. Hubert recalls in the Epoch this
story of the Empress of Russia's violet bed
Some 90 years ago the Car noticed that a
soldier paced every day up and down GER
tain walk in the Winter Garden, going just
so far and then returning to his post. This
guard was kept up night and day, winter
and summer. and the Gar had the curiosi-
ty to ask the soldier why he went so many
hundred feet into the garden and then re
turned. The man didn't know. The officer
in command was next questioned. He
didn't know the order was that such "A
guard should be established and it had been
so for years The officers of the palace
were next sought, and then some of the
higher army officers. The question became
interesting, and the Car was determined
to find out why one of his soldiers was
compelled to walk up and down a certain
walk Of the garden, year after year, for no
ascertainable purpose. Finally, by referring
back to records of 20 years before, it was
discovered that toward the end Of the last
century the Empress Catherine had receiv-
| ed from England IA present Of some very
rare violets which were planted in Ger
tain bed in order to prevent the flowers
